USB C to aux - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Is there any way, either through a ROM or magisk or some flashable zip, to bypass the pixels lock on "supported only" aux adapters?
I want to use the adapter that came with my Motorola Moto z3, but it's "not supported" and won't work on the phone, and I'd have to go and get one of the various "supported" ones.
Any way to bypass this stupid thing?

[Q] HDMI out, why isnt it working for me?

Hey.
I acquired an adapter for the arc s that should enable to me to use the HDMI out.
I use the same cable with my netbook, works like a treat. I unplug the netbook, connect the adapter to the hdmi cable, attach the Arc S and I get.... nothing.
Running stock rom 4.0.2.A.0.42, no custom kernel, its even still bootloader locked (i know, shame )
am I missing something simple like a "use hdmi out" switch, and i am just to blind to find it?
help
cheers

I've never used HDMI, but do you have the LiveWare manager installed?
(correct me if I'm totally wrong )
i didnt, do now tho
it only gives me options for headsets/headwear/charger... so ntohing connected with the hdmi out...
and after looking up the demonstrations on youtube it seems really to be plug and play, so .... yeah... at this stage (except if anyone can point me somewhere else) i must suspect the adapter for the cable by process of elimination. F***
/goes off to buy a new one next pay check
cheers

I got a cable with my arc s and it works no problem. Just plug it into tv then into the phone and it automatically switches to the channel. Of connect to phone first I have to manually select the hdmi channel

Can't use USB in car

I had the Nexus 6P (with Android 7) and plugging it into the USB worked with my 2011 Camaro (it is not Android Auto, the Head-unit basically will see the phone as a USB Storage device, mount it, index the files, and I could then use my car's controls to search, change tracks, etc).
I broke my phone and turn it in on warranty, and end up getting the Pixel XL as replacement, and upgrade it to Android 8.
Now when I plug it into my car, I get a "No supported media found" message on my car's display. I have tried with and without USB Debugging, going into the the developer options and changing the "Select USB Configuration" to MTP, Audio Source and still the same. I would also have this issue with Samsung phones, and could never get them to work.
I am not sure if this is an issue with Pixel's, or with the Android 8 update, since my Nexus 6P with Android 7 worked fine
you need to use the otg adapter that came with it
So I have to get a standard USB-USB cable to connect the adapter to my car?
I thought this adapter added functionality, so my phone can mount drives, not the other way around? Doesn't make since that something that has worked so well on the past 3 phones (except for Samsung for whatever reason) now no longer works without another piece of hardware. Not what I would call progress
So I ordered another cable and am using my OTG adapter, and it still does not work.

Where is the USB ADB/Fastbook port of the connected car system?

Pretty much what the title says - I have a FlyAudio G8II system and I've been able to get it to Fastboot mode (which I need because I want to tinker with it a little and need a way of recovery if I screw something up) but I can't seem to find any way of actually connecting it to a computer via ADB - The system has a single type A USB connector, intended to be used for audio playback from USB drives, though peripherals such as physical keyboards also work. I thought that maybe if I try a nonstandard USB A-A cable I may be able to get it to act as a USB device but that didn't work.
My second thought was that maybe it has an additional USB port on the back but I only see a frightening bundle of wires, most of which I have no idea what they are used for.
Is there someone who has a little understanding of this? If I upload a photo of the backside of the system would anyone be able to figure whether indeed one of these wires can be used as an ADB compatible USB port?
Thanks!

Can you change the USB type setting to "PTP"?

Did you ever have any luck with this?

Android 10 Desktop Mode

I'm trying to enable Android 10's experimental "Desktop mode". This feature basically allows you to use your phone as a PC by connecting an external display to your phone via a USB-C to DisplayPort/HDMI dongle. Unfortunately I can't get it to work with the Motorola One Action. From what I gather the phone's SoC needs to support "DisplayPort Alt Mode" and the external display needs to have at least HDMI v1.4b. The Action has a Samsung Exynos 9609 SoC, but I can't find if it supports DP Alt Mode. It also might have to be enabled manually in the firmware. Does anyone have any idea if/how this is possible?

Useing phone as a Video Monitor

I'm interested in using my phone as a OTG portable test monitor by allowing the USB-C Port to be an HDMI Input.
I've found several videos online showing how to make this happen.
HackADay Link
Youtube Link
In short the steps are - Have USB debugging on. Have A USB HDMI capture card. Use a USB capture App. Hook it all up, input signal. open the app.
I Used this capture card (Capture Card Link) and the "USB Camera" App.

I got it working properly on my old Moto Z2 Force (Android 9).
However to my surprise, it doesn't work at all using the same setup on both my Rooted SM-N9750 N10+ (android 11) and my Stock SM-G960U1 S9 (Android 10) Samsung phones...
Anyone have an idea on how to get this to work on Samsung devices?
Did New android versions/ Samsung do something to make it not work properly (DEX)?
Hope we can figure this out! Either way though, it might work on your old phone.
Edit:
-I managed to get it to work on my note10+ by switching the video source (Nintendo Switch) and messing with the apps resolution settings.
